Yeah 4.61 is slow as hell and no way he’s gonna succeed. You’re all the same peeps that immediately started crying and labeled Josh a bust. 
 

Larry Fitzgerald- 4.63

Anquan Boldin- 4.71

Chad Johnson - 4.57

Deandre Hopkins - 4.57

Cooper Kupp - 4.62

and there’s a bunch more…

 

 

 

 

It’s also reported the Bills had access to his GPS game speed and he’s a 4.5 guy.

Josh Allen basically made this pick. Two years in a row. If you're happy that Kincaid is the man, then this pick is golden.

Very thoughtful very articulated position on a WR who will challenge 1000 yards and a guy who can help in the red zone. Josh is tired of smaller guys and wants some targets who catch in contested situations. You might be right on Coleman (who  knows) but alligator arms had the highest catch rate per target in the NFL last year. 

Contested catches are no way to make a living in the modern NFL. 
 

They make fun highlights. They are not among the great WR’s. There hasn’t been a great contested catch WR in the top 15 in like 15 years.

Wonder if we look to move up for another ?

We have definitely been lacking in the “go up and get it department”, and for quite some time now. 
 

If he can be that kind of guy, Josh will throw it up for him a dozen times a game.

Coleman is only 20 years old...he is not even old enough to drink yet!!!  This guy could be a Bill for a long time.

Another guy who did “OK” as a big wr that was clocked even slower than Coleman was Larry Fitzgerald.  It seems Keon has exceptional hands and play-on-ball skills which are what the Bills covet.  Let’s give him a shot before we write him off.  Could end up being a real stud for us. 

Michael Irvin and Chris Carter come to mind also.

I am convinced that the people who hate this pick, don't really watch college football.  They watch highlights and read commentaries from non-NFL people to get their information.

He's a Bill now so he's one of us!

Nah..cmon. Let’s continue to cry we didn’t get a “speedy” wr and we gave one to KC

Couldn’t have possibly scripted a more nightmare scenario. 

 

Yes we could have, imaging taking a QB from Wyoming over Josh Rosen! 

[CNYfan]

I am kind of bummed.  The one guy I didn't think was any good, my team drafts.

Anybody but

Beane has relinquished GM duties😂

[RichRiderBills]

He's a 50 catch 7 TD kind of guy at best. 

[White Linen]

Several FSU fans are texting that I'm going to like Coleman and he's better than I think. QB play wasn't good and he still balled out.

This guy sucks can't separate and never makes plays. Other than the 85 catches on 87 targets 🤔 🤷‍♂️ 🤣

Those are just dropped passes. Coleman had 115 catches on 192 targets in college. That's under 60% catch percentage.

[thewookie1]

Just thought of this; Coleman is Allen's desire to avoid those ticky tack picks where our receiver just kind of flailed at the ball. He hopes Coleman will, like a wookiee, tear and arm off a DB to get the ball if need be.

Yeah but a guy upthread said he sucks...and that guy probably knows since he is a poster on a message board.

I wanted Mitchell and McConkey, but with Coleman, Franklin is the fella I would take a shot on. 
He wasn't my favorite, but it has to be an X and a Z. Franklin does fit the Diggs' profile, imo.

I think they can get Franklin at 60, if they want him.  That would be both receivers that I hoped they would not draft.

[JoshAllin]

Lets just say he's lucky to have Josh Allen, hopefully he's got better hands than gabe

I agree…but I felt that way about Josh Allen and was wayyy wrong. So…
